  • Publication number: 20240071051
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are CPM support systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a method may comprise determining, based on selection data indicating selections of areas of microscopy imaging data, training data for a machine-learning model. The method may comprise training, based on the training data, the machine-learning model to automatically determine one or more areas of microscopy imaging data for performing at least one operation, such as high resolution data acquisition and data analysis. The method may comprise causing a computing device to be configured to use the machine-learning model to automatically determine areas of microscopy imaging data for the at least one operation.

  • Patent number: 9978557
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for aligning a sample in a charged particle beam system. The charged particle beam is directed toward the sample to obtain a sample diffraction pattern. The sample diffraction pattern is compared with reference diffraction patterns having known misalignments to determine which reference pattern most closely matches the sample pattern. The known alignment of the best-matching reference diffraction pattern is used to correct the tilt of the sample. The “patterns” compared can be lists of bright spots with corresponding intensities rather than images.

  • Publication number: 20080161040
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for configuring and operating a cellular telephone as a cordless telephone handset. Some illustrative embodiments may include a communications device that includes a cellular telephone radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver; and control logic coupled to the cellular telephone RE transceiver and the RFID transceiver. The control logic configures the RFID transceiver and enables the communications device to communicate with a cordless telephone base station.

  • Publication number: 20070280217
    Abstract: Providing a method and software solution to add robustness to real-time media streams such as voice, video and audio streams on a network. When the network channel carrying the media stream experiences an adverse condition that affects the transmissions, such as high packet loss or corruption of packets, a robust mode is activated at an intermediate node of the end-to-end transmission for the media stream to the destination link. The robust mode of the present invention may be activated on specific network links that are experiencing the network problems and not necessarily on the end-to-end communication path. Under certain conditions, an intermediate network node may terminate robust mode in packets received from an upstream link when the network channel in question no longer experiences the adverse network condition.

  • Patent number: 6963979
    Abstract: A cryptographic accelerator (1) has a host interface (2) for interfacing with a host sending cryptographic requests and receiving results. A CPU (3) manages the internal logical unit in an exponentiation sub-system (7) having modulator exponentiators (30). The exponentiators (30) are chained together up to a maximum of four, in a block (20). There are ten blocks (20). A scheduler uses control registers and an input buffer to perform the scheduling control.

  • Publication number: 20020110244
    Abstract: Keys for encryption are stored by a key server software database file system. There is separate and individual security for each key with per-key encryption. An alias makes a request to create a key, and the server requests an accelerator to generate the key, and subsequently receives it and stores it in a database.
